Stereosonic Turns Up The Heat
Can’t wait for summer? Not long to go until Stereosonic kicks off the festival season marking the beginning of summertime fun in the sun. Last year, the weather was phenomenal, so to make sure that everyone enjoys the day without suffering from heatstroke, dehydration or sunburn, our friends at SunSmart have put together some tips to help you party longer!
30 + broad-spectrum sunscreen is as essential as your ticket for Stereosonic. Put a shot glass worth of sunscreen 20 minutes before leaving the house and then again every two hours to protect your skin from damage, sunburn and aging. It’s a fact that 80% of wrinkles are due to over exposure to the sun; so if you don’t want to look like an elephant when you’re older, get slopping!
Keep the lobster look at bay by embracing sombrero festival fashion (also good to hide behind when peeking at the hottie dancing nearby) and slide on some sunnies to protect your eyes.
Make new friends by passing around the sunscreen whenever you’re reapplying between sets or during toilet breaks. It’s an easy way to avoid the “I only put sunscreen on once” burn.
Try to grab some shade and chill out under a marquee when your dancing feet need a break. Believe it or not, the UV is already climbing so give sunburn the slip, slap, slap.
Check out the UV Alert on the SunSmart website to find the times of the day sun protection is needed wherever you are in Australia or download the free SunSmart iPhone app. The app lets you know when you do and don’t need sun protection and when it’s safe to get some sun for vitamin D, making it easier than ever to be smart about your sun exposure. With a few clicks, you can find a 7 day weather forecast, the UV level and sun protection times for your area, so you’ll always be prepared for the day ahead.
